Alright I have this Netgear RP114 and I have tried all I know to get my game visible on Gamespy, I have a Linksys at work and had no problem gettin the game to show up on gamespy, With the Linksys all I had to do was enable DMZ server and type in my ip address and all was great.. Now what do I have to do with the Netgear??

Player0 helped me with this exact issue a week ago as I tried to get my RTCW server up and running.
All I needed to do was:
Assign a static IP to each rig on the LAN, then set the appropriate port forwarding in the router for the IP address of the server.
I also needed to disable a feature called "block WAN request" which in esssence ignores incoming pings to the router. Can't have that happening.
That's it.
I did these things on my Linksys Router, but I'm sure it is the same procedures for your netgear. I didn't even bother with the DMZ....didn't need to...port forwarding handled it fine.
BTW,you'll need to now what port the game uses so you can have that port forwarded in the router.
